Abstract
The problem of spin glasses is of growing interest both in solid state physics and in statistical physics. This problem emerged from the observed anomalous properties of dilute magnetic alloys, such as 1% of Mn or Fe embedded in Cu or Au. The most striking property of these systems is the cusp in the magnetic susceptibility at a well defined temperature. From this observation the question of a new phase (spin glass) at low temperature arose; this would be distinct from the canonical ferro magnetic phase (standard symmetry breaking).
